... Book Winners

I've once again drawn four names from the people who posted articles on
CodeGuru in July and August. The four are:

Alexander Atamas*John Gulbrandsen*Klaus Salchner*arasu_tt

If you are one of these people, then you have 60 days to get me your mailing
address and to let me know what book you would prefer a copy of: The
CodeGuru.com Visual C++ Goodies or Kate Gregory's Visual C++ .NET 2003
Kicks Start. If you posted an article in September, then you have a chance
for the next drawing. There is even still time to post an article if you
haven't already!

For those of you keeping up by reading books. The following are just a few of
the new books that have been recently released. If you've read any of these,
feel free to write a review to be posted on CodeGuru. See the submission
guidelines at:

- Create a 3D Cube Structure for GDI+By Paul
KimmelThree-dimensional primitive shapes are conspicuously absent from the
.NET Framework and GDI+, but that didn't stop Paul Kimmel from implementing a 3D
cube primitive. Read all about his results.

- Invoke Hidden Commands in Your Web BrowserBy
eagleboostDemonstrate an innovative way to invoke hidden commands to show
modal dialogs such as the "Add To Favorite" dialog or "Import/Export Wizard"

- Why Adam Smith Is Right and Software Generalists Are Wrong, an
Exemplar in Heroic CoupletBy Paul KimmelPaul Kimmel offers an
ode to the symbiotic relationship between the programmer and the tester,
positing that software quality suffers when one generalist assumes both
roles.

- Working With Asynchronous .NET Web Service ClientsBy
Kenn ScribnerHaving trouble using the asynchronous call mechanisms built
into .NET? Let Kenn Scribner clarify it for you and make your programming tasks
(at least as related to asynchronous processing) a little easier.

4. Choosing a Distributed Architecture for Your
Enterprise By Scott Robinson
- It's not enough that an enterprise environment have a
distributed architecture. As a developer, you need the right distributed
architecture, one that's well suited to the kinds of applications you're
designing.
